The exhibition shows 18 artworks that were identified through this painstaking work. The whole research process is depicted in the infographics.

‘Rescued Treasures of Italy’ in Khanenko museum

A small but unique exhibition has already caused a stir among Kyivans, who wait in line for two hours to see the masterpieces of Italian Renaissance. The exhibition features 17 artworks of Pisanello, Tintoretto, Andrea Mantegna and others. Peter Paul Rubens’ “Dama delle Licnidi” and Jacopo Bellini’s “ Saint Jerome Penitent” are the highlights of the exhibition.

The paintings were stolen in 2015 from the municipal museum Castelvecchio in Italy’s Verona.
